    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Ha-ha-ha? More like Eeh-eeh-eeh!

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    It is a depressing film, so is the first. I've seen far bleaker and more depressing, I definitely wouldn't call it misery ****, it's certainly tragic, speaking of the first film explicitly. The second film is also yeah, it shows, and in real life it does happen; obviously, that people are...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    I was actually really open to watching the new Crow. Nothing can take away from 1994, it's one of my all-time favourites. And I don't usually let accounts like Critical Drinker sway my opinion, but somehow he managed to get a lot of footage from the film, and even as a film it looks solidly *****.

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Well, I'm not trying to win anyone over with how I view the film. I know exactly how the film is being viewed, my opinions of it certainly won't make anyone see it otherwise. And yet, I really think Philips and Phoenix don't care if it had been or done x it would have won audiences. They won...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Ehhh, debatable. There was introspective growth for him. And real consequences which leveled him out. All the things he did as Fleck to becoming Joker in the first one was reactionary and selfish, it's quite a good conclusion to his pitiful character. Not a great closure on Joker as a character...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    In sincerity, what were you expecting from the sequel? The fact they even announced it as a musical should have been clue enough. Phoenix isn't the person to play a comic book character let alone a sequel comic-book character. Protagonists being ***** isn't unique to this film. I'm surprised...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    ... so who's going to watch it a second time? *raises hand*

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Philips and Phoenix will be cracking a bottle of champagne. WB execs will have egg on their faces.

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    He ruined that in the first one when he showed what was real and wasn't real.

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Yes, they definitely can and they are. And that's exactly what Philips and Phoenix probably hoped for or at least expected.

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Well, that's the end of the film, so yeah I'm okay with it, we're never going to see another one. I'm okay with it because I never viewed the first film as him being the Joker. Well, it's not a disease as such. If you stop and think how theology is spread and then used as a weapon then you...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Great question. Philips has already answered that. Just because the film doesn't follow THE Joker, doesn't mean it's not relevant, Batman media always talks about the symbol of being the Batman, the legacy of it what it means etc. it's an interesting concept that the mantle of the Joker can...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    Was it necessary, no. Is it valid in the confines of the first film and the messaging it had outside of the film, yes. Personally I don't think it being panned takes that away - the first film already faced a battle of people expecting it to be one thing and it being another, this film did that...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    No, that is the exact point the first film makes, that the second film reiterates. Even outside the film, the whole premise as described by Philips is a cautionary tale of what can happen with people who need help the most are neglected in every way the film shows, and then what can happen to...

    Joker: Folie à Deux

    That's the point of the first film people keep on missing, he even explained it in this film.

    InArt Phoenix Joker 1/6

    I really enjoyed the new one, didn't love it like I loved the first one. But it's a nice addition if you want it to continue the story a little part, it basically emboldens the first one in every manner including discussion outside of the film. The fact that almost everyone hates it is...

    Queen Studios: LOTR - Gandalf 1/3 Statue

    This Gandalf in particular looks top-tier, incredible. But I have never seen a QS piece that hasn't had quite a drop off in production. Fingers crossed they don't for those who do order, but I won't be gambling that.

    InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

    By small I mean his frame, not his height.

    InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

    Inart is definitely scaled smaller than Hot Toys, don't really have too much of an issue with that to be honest, especially with a figure like Pattinson's Batman, because the most important aspect for me is that it's in proportion and that it behaves as close to a real body as possible...

    InArt: 1/6 Superman (Cavill)

    Yeah that's fair, it definitely is an improvement in many regards, it's a shame the neck line still ruins the figure. But for me, with how glaringly smol this Superman is, it either means Batman is going to be similarly undersized or they will make him the correct size giving this Superman an...
